The default Mail app still doesn’t support push Gmail, does it? That’s the only thing keeping me from using it. I otherwise strongly prefer Mail.app.

Mail does support it, but Google refuses to allow it. They used to, in the past.

That’s Google’s choice, not Apple’s lack of support.

Source? I thought Apple gated XAPPLEPUSHSERVICE so 3rd party accounts on the mail.app fallback to fetch/poll.

Push works with Yahoo and Exchange. Google used to allow it, but stopped (apparently in 2013): https://www.engadget.com/2013-03-26-gmail-push-notification-...

Also with FastMail. (I don’t use them but they’re on the top of my list next time I decide to switch.)
